NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY BUILDING The construction of a new Central Library in Goa is good news.
To ensure Goa's rich cultural and literary heritage it will not lose, May it also be a centre for those yearning For informed discussion and learning, And research into Goa's history and culture with new vigour infuse. I also hope that the new library will be designed By an architect whose plans will have in them combined, A modernistic approach which will also reflect The unique ethos of Goa into a great project With functional utility and imagination intertwined. - Shanti Dhoot RE: Message: 1 of Goanet Digest, Vol 3, Issue 501; 2 May 2008 From: "Goanet News" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: New Central Library building construction in full swing http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=050269 Panaji, May 1: The construction of the new Central Library is in full swing and is expected to be completed in the first half of January 2009.
